“this is what happens if a child doesn’t receive an iota of parental guidance”

You did though. This was the same line Joan Burton instructed her PR people to use about the Jobstown protestors; that they’re bad parents because poor people, as you clearly believe, are uncivilised. You said the same about Arabs.

“wow, you think poor parental guidance is limited to areas that are socially disadvantaged?”

No, mate. That’s clearly what you think, If this kid was from Blackrock, I’d have put money on you not inferring you know anything about his upbringing. But he wears a tracksuit and he’s from Tallaght, so you’ve decided you know exactly how he was raised. “Not an iota”. Not even a little bit of parenting because his parents are poor and you think they’re all uncivilised.

“I’ve no idea. Neither do you. When middle class kids do crappy things, their parents integirty tends not to be brought up though.”

This is total and complete bullshit. This is not a “crappy thing”, it’s grievous bodily harm. You do no one any favours by defending it, downplaying it, or changing the subject to how we’re absolutely MAD to be inferring bad parenting by someone who raises a fupping socipath.

It really isn’t. There’s a video of Joan Burton using this as a PR tactic FFS.

“This is not a “crappy thing”, it’s grievous bodily harm.”

‘Crappy thing’ is clearly an ambiguous colloquialism that means different things to different people so you’re only arguing with yourself on that point.

.”You do no one any favours by defending it”

You’re reaching desperation point when you’re advising me against doing something I haven’t done. What favours are any of us doing anyone here by the way? What do you think this is other than a comments section of a blog used by about 20 people? Look, I get it. You posted about a need for parenting licences (a line often used regarding working class parents) and felt I attacked you personally. You could take a step back and think about what you’re saying though,

Some people are dragged up and don’t get the stability and encouragement that kids need. Very often these kids grow up socially and economically deprived. Your bleeding heart approach of “standing up for the working class” looks like nothing more than empty posturing.

The kind of behaviour you see in the video is a dead giveaway and the first step in addressing it (i.e. making sure that there are school councillors available to temper them and that initiatives like Big Brother cross their path) involves acknowledgment of the issue – that is, if you care enough that would genuinely like to see people have a path from poverty to contentment.

What a stupid, uneducated, absolute gobpoop of a thing to say. The girls hair could of caught fire, it could have damaged her skull, her hearing. Anything. Let’s strap a firework to your head and then we’ll see if that comment still stands. Moron.

You were born with unfortunate initials. Even when you spell them backwards it still sounds like ‘cock’.
– But I didn’t come here (just now) to ridicule you.
– I think you’re very nice.
– I’m going to be very nice too.

If it’s any help, I once knew a d***head from Galway called Mark Smith. It was a long time ago and I couldn’t handle it.
I called him Keith. I think Keith is a good name. I like it.
He still owes me £20. It’s a long story. £20 was like €100 back in them days.

Wouldn’t it be a good idea to have Fireworks taken OUT off the Black Market, away from the badly translated Chinese instructions and the sweaty braziers of Moore Street?
– To pretend they exist, and maybe educate about their dangers? Instead of just hoping that kids know this stuff instinctively? I don’t think they do.

– Or maybe just stop putting on big displays and reminding impressionable young kids that there’s one law for them…
You’re literally lighting a fuse that’s bound to blow up in your face.

That is G.B.H. right there. That was not a ‘prank’.
That individual along with his buddies ought be put against a wall and shot.
I know that’s not christian attitude but I do believe those young guys will go on to do far greater harm soon as they get the hang of getting away with such as that.
Which is what will certainly happen.

Seems to be a thing – On evening of the Las Vegas shootings being on the news all day – kids in kilcock shot a large firework at a large group of commuters queuing to get out of the station, me being one of them, made everyone jump out their skin, i swore like a docker, very dangerous, nobody bothered about contacting gardaí, not sure what is more depressing, the complete lack of confidence that there would be a garda response or that teenagers thought it was funny to blast fireworks at people on a train platform..C units

Dublin City Centre Via “Tallaght” Neighborhood Watch (?) Do we really have to attach Tallaght to every random act of anti social behavior. It brings down the tone of the area. Its bad enough every gunshot victim in South Dublin gets TALLAGHT hospitaled in the media via TV3 even though the people involved are from other areas. Well done Broadsheet and Garthicus. This isn’t going to give scotes ideas at all.

Thanks. I figured that out. But back to my point, It happened in the city centre, This has nothing to do with Tallaght so why are Tallaght Neighborhood Watch freebooting the openly available video (that was uploaded by one of the towny scotes) and banging on about it like they broke the story?

it happened in Dublin 1 . no complaint to the gardai yet , they settle their own battles in that neck of the woods.
knew a guy from near railway street (where this happened) before…was stabbed in the neck by a guy he knew from school (he was delivering pizza) . wasn’t in his interest to report it . the local expectation was he would beat the guy to a pulp and that would be that.
he wasn’t the type to do that kinda thing…his cousin was though.
cousin balanced the equation , assailant wasn’t able to walk for a few months.
everybody was happy.
